Is it possible to disable the follow function?

[Marcel Krist]

My company uses confluence version 6.6.13.

Some of my coworkers asked me (the IT-Services Team) if it is possible to disable the "follow" function?

The coworkers don't want to be "stalked" by this feature of confluence.

Best wishes 

Marcel

Hi Marcel and Welcome,

for now it is not possible to disable this features throught the UI.

Some workarounds has been published on CONFSERVER-16032 

Best Regards

What do you mean by workarounds.. That would mean that it is possible?

I mean that it is possible if you directly modify some files as suggested in the linked CONFSERVER-16032 ticket. But is not a recommended approach.

Thank you for your help.
